SPRING

  • Spring 一目千本桜の春

    “Hitome Senbon Zakura” is all in light pink in its flower peak so just indulge the splendid peak bloom in different ways- the cherry blossom festival, the exclusive marketplace, the slope car running through the flowers, sakura viewing houseboat, nighttime illumination, flowery bento meal boxes made with local ingredients…it’s simply the busiest time overflowing with visitors.
